Although Mint and therefore Ubuntu run on my VIA vx900 Thin Client, Debian will only install and work with Terminal and Webmin over LAN.
VIA offers drivers for the OS's listed above, and Debian drivers for their previous chipset.
I've already done newb things in Grub's video line and XFCE4 and goodies installled. It just seems to be the driver that's lacking.
So if you put in "startx" the hard drive chatters (got a SATA hooked up) for a little bit and then black screen.
Claimer: I tried for a couple days before "giving-up" and going back to Mint XFCE on 32G USB stick. But if I try again, no worries if you've got an experimental way or something. Everything is backed-up and no worries if something goes askew or awry.
I tried many bootable Linux flavors and truth be told I really like Debian and want to stick with it. But VIA graphics drivers aren't for the faint of heart, and I'm in fact faint of heart :-D
